SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Honey Badger Small Wharncleaver Folding Knife is engineered for precision, safety, and reliability, making it an ideal tool for first responders, emergency personnel, and anyone who demands practical performance from their everyday carry. Its wharncleaver blade, also referred to as a sheepsfoot, features a straight cutting edge paired with a rounded, blunt tip. This design minimizes the risk of accidental punctures while maximizing control during slicing, push cuts, and general utility tasks. With its compact size and thoughtful construction, this knife excels in situations where both precision and safety are critical.
Crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the blade offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The black DLC coating adds durability, reduces friction, and delivers a sleek, tactical look. Measuring 2.81 inches, the blade is small enough for everyday carry but large enough to handle most utility tasks without compromise.

The wharncleaver shape is especially suited for controlled slicing, making it a favorite among professionals who need a dependable cutting tool in high-stress environments.
The handle is constructed from black FRN (Fiber-Reinforced Nylon) with a textured, honeycomb pattern for a secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. Ergonomically designed, it fits comfortably in the hand and provides excellent leverage without adding unnecessary weight. At just 2.57 ounces, the knife is lightweight and easy to carry, yet it feels substantial in use. A liner lock mechanism ensures secure blade deployment and prevents accidental closure, while the flipper and thumb hole allow for fast, one-handed opening. The knife also features black DLC screws and an ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip for convenient, deep-carry storage.
With an overall length of 6.54 inches and a closed length of 3.70 inches, this folding knife balances portability with performance.
